Tolerance Among the Turks.

Yet the Turks-if they are not high officials and have not lived in I;Tis. from which they take home its vices only-the Turks, say, are neither malicious, nor jealous, nor disloyal. They arc not intolerant, even, at least iE no outside cause comes to wound their pride, which is all the more touchy as il has no justification. But the Turks arc hauShty-very unconscious of it, how ever-and are ignorant to degree that they do not even suspect Their fanatic ism is never fired by the sight of an alien creed, by public processions, by Chris tan festivals; as far as they are con cerned, all this has no existence. They pass to one side; they see it, but do not look at it. Their fanaticism, which in reality asks for nothing more than to be allowed to slumber as they do themselves, is awakened only by a wound to the Mussulmanic pride, by palpable and visible insult given to their beliefs.
 Christian priests can traverse streets with their insignia and their sacerdotal costumes, preceded and followed by their devotees, carrying banners, wax candles and crosses, and singing with all their might. The Turks would not get angry at this any more than they would at a procession of children with their dolls. They even praise their musicians and their drums at the funerals of bishops and the processions of Corpus Christi, and nothing is more curious than the sight of Turkish soldiers, in full uniform, following with the most profound re- spect the crucifix and the holy sacra- ment.
 But let Christian take it into his head to enter one of their mosques without their authority and without submitting to all the ceremonial of Musselmanic humil- ity, and they will drive him out in a brutal manner. This is not intolerance; it is obedience to the principle that every man is master of his own house; and we may be certain that when the so-called Turkish fanaticisln has inflicted severe punishment upon European scoffers, or upon persons that are too inquisitive, it is not always the Turk that began the quar- rel between the disciple of Christ and the follower of Mohammed M.

THE suEz SHIP CANAL.

How the Traffic Along the Waterway is
 Managed-Enormous Fees.
 The number of ships in the canal at the same time is something very great. Dec. 8 last, for example, fifteen steamers cleared the canal, of which seven were outward bound. The previous day nine ships cleared, and the day before seven, so that during the 9th some thirty ships were probably at one time in the canal. Sometimes there are as many as forty, and all are under the control of the French gentleman sitting at his desk in an upper chamber at Terreplein. The method of working is Excessively simple. Against the wall at one side of the room is a narrow shelf or platform, along which runs a groove. At intervals this trough or groove has deep recesses, and at two places these recesses are of larger size. This trough or groove represents the canal. The recesses are the sidings. The larger intervals are the Great Bitter lake and Lake Tinsoh.
 When vessel about to enter the canal at, say, the Suez end, small toy boat or model three or four inches long is chosen torepresent her. A group of these model ships stands ready beside the model canal, each furnished with flag. About forty have the English flag, ten or dozen the French flag, and so on with other nation alities. As the steamer comes up and her name is known it is written on paper and placed on the toy boat. The whole number of ships thus actually in theeanal at any moment can be seen at a glance; and, as the telegraphic signals give mo- tice, the toy boats are moved along, or placed ill siding, or shown traversing one of the lakes at full speed Signals are sent from the office to the various ''gares" prescribing the siding at which each ship must stop to let another meet and pass it. The official who is on duty keeps the models moving as he receives notice, taking care when perhaps two ships, going in opposite directions, are both nearing the same siding to give timely warning to the pilots in charge by means of tho siil5udT DII1s and ndss gt each station under his control from tie office, and to direct which of the two is to lie up and which to proceed.
 Barring accidents, tho whole arrange ment goes like clockwork; the clerk can read off in moment the name, tonnage, nationality, draught and actual situation of every steamer; he can tel v-hSt pilot she has on board, what is her breadth of beam, what rate she is moving at, and everything else which has to be known about her; and he is able without an effort to govern all her movements, to prescribe the place where she is to pass the night and the hour at which she is to get under way in the morning, although he does not see her and probably never saw her in his life. The fees which yes sels pay for passing through the canal are often enormous. Some of the large liners of the Peninsular and Oriental, or the Orient service pay as much as q, 500 in making single transit. For every passenger half napoleon, or eight shil- lings and fourpence, is charged. Three fourths of the ships that go through the canal are English. Saturday Review.

The Brabmip,s Poetio Laneuare.

The Tamil Brahmins have a peculiarly poetic language, and though their ideas are not always poetical, yet they are gen. orally picturesque. The insect kingdom is the human world in disguise, and ac- cordingly they call the bee Brahnin from its selfish exclusiveness and its dis like to insects other than bees; the wasp is the videgar, or priest; the grasshopper and locust, soldiers, from their destructive qualities; large insect, being a species of glow worm, a cowherd or milkman; the mosquito and the flea, household servants; the bug, doctor; the butterfly, a Brah- min woman, and the horsefy, a dog
 And, in conclusion, should any of my readers ever desire the speedy departure of Brahmin from his house, have but to say let him call into the room a dog for to pure Brahmin dog or fowl is as much an abhorrence as is hog to an orthodox Hebrew or to faithful followers of Mohammed.-San Francisco Chronicle.

What is the Normal puIse ?

It is strange how very few people knee what their normal pulse is. They know that the average pulse is about seventy, and imagine that they are well or other wise as their pulse approaches or departs from this standard. It is true that an average of all pulses would give result of about seventy beats, but in no other physical peculiarity is there such wide individual variation. had two students in my office at the same time, both very strong and remarkably healthy young men. The normal pulse of one was forty seven and the other ninety-three. This difference is unusual, few pulses falling below sixty or rising above eighty in a healthy subject, but an unusually slow or rapid pulse is no indication whatever of disease, as is popularly supposed to be the case. Most people overestimate their pulse, as they often count it's beats when talking about the matter, and it is a fact well known to physicians that the excite ment of conversation will quicken the pulse from five to twenty beats. The best time to arrive at the true normal is shortly after waking in the morning, when the nerves are unexcited. Democrat.

Children in Cairo.

It is the poor little children here that most move me to pity and make me lose sight of the wonderfully varied and pic turesque scenes of Cairo. The poor little things, borne astride the shoulder of their mothers, often seem more dead than alive, and the little hand elutching so feebly, yet confidently, to her headgear is a sight most pitiful. It is said that 7S per cent. of the children die here in in fancy. have seen several funerals of children. They are borne along the streets in an open wooden box with a gay pail thrown over it, motley crowd bearing the box and others following chanting a song with not the least degree of feeling or soleminity. Neither the mother nor any woman is ever allowed to follow, and at the grave the child is taken out of the box, and, scarcely wrapped at all, is dropped into the sand Egypt Cor. Detroit Tribune.

Anna Dickinson and the Driver.

Of unadulterated impotence and cold assumption the coachman of the milioned upper thousands in New York provide the most nearly perfect specimens to be found in the United States. They appear to think that common vehicles and people on foot have no right in the streets. So they halloe at pedestrians who are about to get in the way, and rattle across streets with indifference as to who or what may be on the crossings. The average democratic New Yorker does not mind being whistled at by car drivers, and will make lively jumps over crossing to get out of the way of a milk wagon or a coal cart; but when it comes to having carriage drawn by prancing horses, with banged tails and silver mounted harness, bear down upon him with q ''Halloo, there," from liver jed driver, he feels more like cracking the horses nose with stick than clearing passage for them.
 He usually does nothing restrictive, however, and Anna Dickinson is there fore all the more heroine. It was at Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, in a recent rain storm. The avenue was crowded with vehicles, and crossing was difficult. Anna had lodged in and out successfully, but she found when near the farther sidewalk that she had to wait a few seconds for a wagon loaded with long pieces of lumber to pass. As she stood there a carriage, containing the wife and daughter of ten millionaire, came dashing up, and some inarticulate whoops from the driver warned her to get out. But sine didn't. She stood as resolutely as if she had been on the lec- ture platform, and Jehu had to slacken the pace of his horses, though he let them walk up almost against her, and it looked as if it was his intention to drive over her. But she shook an umbrella in the face of the beasts two or three times and apparently made him believe that she would stick the end of it into their eyes if her rights were imposed upon much further. And he, looking very much disgusted, stopped short. But a look of triumph was spread over Annals features as she stepped upon the side walk.-New York Cor. Kansas City 1 Journal,

Law Loving Negroes.

The negro likes to sue and be sued indeed, they seem to have sort of an idea that it elevates them in the eyes of their neighbors to ''git the law" on one another. A walk about the numerous magistrate offices any day VI reveal half a dozen or 80 coons sittEZ round waiting for their cases to be called. Oftentimes there is absolutely nothing in these cases, but too often the magistrate and his satellite who serves the warrant manage to get their few dollars of costs one way or another. Of course the bet ter class of justices do not encourage the negroes ill their lawsuits, but there are men who will hear every one and render such decision as will cover the costs every time.-Memphis Avalanche.

MY GRAVE.

For me no great metropolis of the dead Highways and byways, squares and crescents
 of death
 But, after I have breathed my last sad breath, Am comforted with quiet, I, who said, 'I weary of mems voices and their tread, Of clamoring bells and whirl of wheels that
 pass" Lay me beneath some plot of country grass, Where flowers may spring and birds sing over
 head; Whereto one coming, some fair eve in spring, Between the dayfall and the tender night, Might pause a while, his friend remembering, And hear few words breathed through the fall
 ing light, Spoken to him by the wind, whispering, ''Now he sleeps long, who had so long to fight. :" Philip Bourke Marsten in April Lippincott's

A CREOLE'S OPINION OF CABLE.

The Creole Fireside, published In
both French aud English, Il prominent
journal representing the people OF st.
James parish, briefly pays its respects
to Mr.. George W. Cable. 1t says:
In the March number Of the Century
Magazine Mr.. Cable-who has earned
an uncnviabie reputation Tor veracity
wherever he speaks Of tho Creotes-has
favored the readers Of that magazine
with short story of Grande Polnte.
This story is no exception to those
previously written by him on tho
CreoIes, aud might be damaging to the
honest and laborious population 10
which he refers, if the author had not,
on so many occasions, furnished public
proofs Of his love for eXaggeration aud
his hatred for truth.
Yes, they keep on attacking Cable;
they attack his veracity and say he ia
losing force but his writings find their
way into the best magazines and the
best critics yet admit that his sketches
are charming.

THE VALUE OF COTTON SEED,

Prof. Stubs, at the Interstate Agri-
cultural Convention at Lake Charles,
renewed his advice to the farmers not
to sell their cotton seed for less than
80 ton net, and if they could not get
that price, to keep ii aud use it as q
fertilizer. He pointed out, both from
mathematical and chemical stand
point, that ii would benefit them and
the country If they sold the cotton seed
at price where it would enable them
to place the cotton seed meal back Oh
the land; but that to sell II at less, and
not to supply the elements TAX en- from
the soil would sooner or later improve.
rish aud ruin The land.
Looking at the matter from chemi-
ca! standpoint, the oil extracted from
the seed was, he said, uf no value as =
fertilizer JUDGED, it was better 10 get
rid Of II, if possible, as il prevented the
decomposition Of the seed, and that
was absolutely necessary to give 1t any
value as fertilizer. Hence, jf the
planter will send his seed to the mill,
have il crushed and the oil extracted,
and receive the cake or meal back, to
be placed on his farm, he will secure
the very best results. This is possible
IL the farmer gets 80 ton for his seed
il any less, il will pay him best TO keep
his seed.
This is good advice, which the cot
ton planters of the South would do

HON. {. j. EOATNER
On :hc Congressional Campaign oflsas.

MONROE, La, March 10, 1887 To
the Editor of the Times. Sir: / notice
that you continue to insist upon put
ting me iu the position OF having bolt
ed regular convention Of my party
when / was a candidate for Congress
last, and Of having occupied the same
position as Mr.. Carleton Hunt. In
this you are in my opinion doing me
and the friends who supported me a
great injustice. The difference bes
tween my position and that OF MI.
Hunt is so marked, that ! am surprised
tt escaped your attention.
Mr.. Hunt organized an independent
movement in advance OF the meeting
OF the regular convention, and avowed
his intention not 10 submit his name
FOX its action, nor to be bouud by its
proceedings. He placed himself at
once outside the party organization and
detied it.
The body which nominated me was
orgaalzsd by Gel. c, u. Moore, the

regularly appointed chairman OF the
executive committee, who called Mr..
J. NJ. Kennedy, Of East Carroll, 10
the chair as temporary presiding officer.
During a recess and when all the
delegates except those Instructed to
support Gen. King, were absent at
dinner, the latter, ignoring the exist
ence Of a temporary organization, and
in the absence of the temporary chair
man, effected an organization of their
own and proceeded 10 nominate Gen.
King. A -E-
Before this WAS cODsunma!edl offered
to Withdraw from the contest on the
sole condition that they recede from
the position they had taken and come
back into the convention as it was
organized at the time they withdrew.
This they declined. Had entertained
the least doubt of the legitimacy of the
convention which nominated me, I
should certainly have declined the
honor. This matter has b,ru s..ttled
in this district to the Satisfaction OF
all parties.
Gen. Kings friends doubtless cons
sidered him as the regular nominee OF
the party. Mine thought l occupied
the same position, and neither Of Us
had any idea that we were boilers.
Ia the late convention both parties
had representation and participated in
the nomination of candidate, thus
healing all dissensions.
I trust that on reflection you will
consider that you are in error, and
desist from the agitation OF question
which has been settled, and the
resuscitation Of which can be produc-
tive of no good. Yours truly,
